Williamstown senior Sean Moreland and Grant County senior Tim Livingood will represent their schools at the Leachman Buick Cadillac/KHSAA state golf tournament Oct. 3-5 at the Bowling Green Country Club.

Moreland shot a 77, placing him third overall at the regional meet at Maysville Country Club.

Livingood qualified with a score of 78 and the Grant County Braves golf team placed fourth as a team. Only the top two schools from each region qualify and only three individuals can qualify for the state tournament.

After some tough competition the past couple of weeks and seeing their record go from 5-0-0 to 5-2-1, the Lady Braves finished second in the third annual Dry Ridge Toyota Classic Sept. 17 at Grant County Middle School.

“Being a first time coach, my expectations were that we play to our level and play well as a team. My hope was to make a good run at being tournament champions,” Lady Braves coach Sarah Boone said.

In the first game, the Lady Braves defeated Carroll County 4-1, to secure a spot in the championship game against Bishop Brossart.

Now that the Braves have a win under the belt, their coach David Arvin said the team will be preparing to learn how to win more games as they get ready for their homecoming game against Greenup County at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16.

“These guys were so excited and to get that first win, you had to be proud for the work they have put in to get that win and with that win other things will snowball in for us and we can get some more wins,” he said. “Hopefully we took the first step to learning how to win more games.”
